How do i connect my computer to my tv to play iphoto slideshow please?

Hi,
I have a Macbook and was hoping to connect it to my tv ports to play a slideshow on the tv. Not sure what type of cable to use and where to plug in? It is a HDTV with HDMI so wondered if maybe I should connect to the stereo system itself. I also tried making a CD slideshow aand play it on my dvd player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

If your TV has a memory card slot try exporting your slideshow as a QT movie file, put it on the memory card and try that.

Please help - how to copy DVD to computer so that it will play on computer

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I am stuck. I have a DVD of my son-in-law's memorial service that I need to copy onto my computer in a playable form. The DVD itself works great on both the TV, and on the computer (playing with iDVD on the latter). However, I simply do not know how to copy the contents of the DVD to my hard drive so that it will play directly from the drive, and so that I can place the video file in my .Mac public folder for relatives to download. When I open (not play) the DVD, I see two folders: AUDIO_TS which is empty, and VIDEO_TS, which contains files. I have copied these to my hard drive, and I have also made a disk image of the DVD on my drive. However, neither of these gives me a file on which I can click and get it to play. (If I insert the DVD itself into the computer, iDVD launches and the movie plays). Please help. Thank you!

How do i connect my hp 610-1130a to my tv as a second monitor. i only have hdmi inputs on my compute

How do I connect my computer to my TV as a second moniter. I have a HP 610-1130a touch screen running windows 7.
It has 2 HDMI in ports.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 610-1130a Desktop Computer. You are correct in stating that it has 2 HDMI inputs... these inputs are used for connecting devices like XBox, PS3, DVD payer, Blu-Ray player, etc., so that you can watch/play them on your computer screen. Your computer, in fact, doesn't have a video output of any kind (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.). You will need to purchase a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 to use your TV as a monitor.
Please note that if you wish to "extend" your Windows "desktop" to your TV, you will need to disable the touchscreen as issues controlling the cursor will occur. If you wish to "copy" or "duplicate" the image on your computer to the TV, the touchscreen should function as normal.

Connecting a Computer to an HDTV

Hey everyone,
One of the most frequently asked home theater questions we see here on the forums is “How do I connect my computer to my HDTV?” Well, depending upon the model(s) you own you may have a number of options.
For starters, the most common option to connect a computer to an HDTV is to use a VGA cable. Often referred to as RGB, D-sub 15 or even generic “PC” inputs on many TVs, these connections are present on a healthy majority of desktop and laptop computers. Some laptops will even feature miniature versions of these ports that can be easily converted to a full-size VGA connection through the use of a special adapter.
The second option, connecting the two using component cables, is primarily used by consumers that own an older HDTV. Most often found in the home theater section of a store, these cables are not only relatively inexpensive, but can also generally be identified by their red, blue, and green color coding as explained by Rodney-GSHQ in this other thread. There is, however, one slight problem: most video cards do not feature component outputs.
The next available option is to use a Digital Video Interface (DVI) cable. These connections are quite common on newer desktop computers, and are often considered to be the digital successor to VGA. That’s right – everything up to this point has been analog only.
Last, but not least, you may have the option of connecting your computer to your HDTV using an HDMI cable. HDMI outputs are typically only found on newer (and higher-end) computers, but are considered by many to be capable of providing the highest-quality digital signals available.
Regardless of which method you choose, remember that you will need a separate cable to run audio from your computer to your TV! Additionally, it’s strongly recommended that you double-check your TV and computer’s owner’s manuals for step-by-step instructions as there are a number of precautions that you should take before attempting to connect the two.

I know for a FACT that HDMI and DVI are intercompatible. I was talking about the sets themselves. NOT the specs. Many HDTVs have EDID tables that are not compliant with PC signal specs or in some cases, they give off EDID information that isn't understood by various electronic devices that rely on such information. This is a well-known fact and has been a particular problem with older sets. Yes, you can tweak the signal from your PC using PowerStrip, the Nvidia/ATI driver hacks, or whatever applies to your particular setup, but those don't always work. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work until it works out of the box and there are only a few sets that will work with PC signals over anything other than VGA by design. I know this from my own testing done at Best Buy on nearly two dozen of the 1080P LCDs with my own HDMI/VGA equipped notebooks using the latest (non-Beta) drivers from Nvidia, ATI/AMD, and Intel. I tested both HDMI and VGA from the notebooks for nearly three hours. VGA was the clear winner for out of the box connectivity on most of the sets and HDMI lost big time because the signal was either not displayed at all or displayed improperly with no clear way to resolve the issue. The Sony Bravia LCDs were the only ones that passed both the HDMI and VGA connectivity tests that I did. You simply got lucky with the two LCDs you have used because they were likely intended for multi-media use. The Westinghouse certainly was at any rate since they have always catered to that market.

How do I connect my imac to tv

I have connected the HDMI3 cable to my tv and imac and I have the screen saver on the tv. How do I connect a utube video on my imac to the tv please?

To move the browser window to the TV, usually all you have to do is drag its titlebar to the right side, and it will move that way. Then once it is mostly there, click on the green circle in the upper left corner of the window.
If it isn't dragging to the TV screen, make sure the arrangement in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays appears thus:
You do not want to mirror. And the white bar is on the screen that has the menubar and the Dock. Don't touch the white bar, unless you want to move it to a different display. Just drag the blue in the arrangement above.
That way if you drag the window to the right it will appear on the display without the menubar.

How do i connect 7.1 speakers to my macbook pro

Hi, so i have some 7.1 creative gigaworks s750 speakers
http://uk.creative.com/corporate/pressroom/releases/detail.asp?ref=11537
I used to have them connected to a soundcard which slotted into my old laptop about 2 years ago but havent used them since. I am not overly great with technology and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how i can connect them up to my mac and play the quality of sound i know they are capable of.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks

Either read the user manual that came w/the speakers and/or contact the manufacturer for instructions. You need to determine first, if the speakers are compatible w/your current model MBP.

I purchased (and have now deleted Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto. How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?

I purchased (and have now deleted) Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto. (Aperture was simply too much program for me.) How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto? Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a dumber than dumb question. I simply want all vestiges of Aperture to go away with losing all my albums. Any help would be appreciated!

Aperture added a second view to your library.
You now have an additional section in your Source list , called events. But this section lists exactly the same events that you are seeing in the "Events" view. Don't delete anything from there, or you will delete your photos. But you can press the "Hide" button to collaps that section. But someday you may want to use this list. It makes it very easy to move photos between events.

How to access iTunes playlist for iPhoto slideshow?

In iPhoto 6 when I am setting up a slideshow and click the "Music" button, I am given the option of accessing my full library from iTunes, but my Playlists don't show up anywhere, just the artists' names and individual songs,so I am able to choose just one song for an entire slideshow. How can I access my playlists in the Music settings for iPhoto slideshows?

I have the same problem, I click the arrows and the list drops but I can only select first tune from , sample, garage band, or library. This happens every time I install an update. In the past deleting iTunes playlist has cured the problem but has not worked this time.

How to save changes to settings for photos in an iPhoto slideshow?

How can I save the settings to individual slides in an iPhoto slideshow? I followed the instructions for changing the zoom and pan, but when I exit iPhoto an relaunch it the settings revert to some default. Help!

Try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
